Nina knocked out her front tooth after colliding with the kitchen table. "But I'm OK," she says. The dentist says a new one will come in... in about three years. In the mean time, it is fun to play in the fog.

Nina said bye bye to her crib and got a new big girl bed for her third birthday. Then she went out to a fancy dinner with her grandparents at Casbah. It was yummy. Grandma Connie brought a birthday cake. Nina tried to show us how old she was with her fingers and blew out the candles. Then she opened her presents and took them up to her newly-decorated room.
